Objective
This project involves the development of two UAV rectangular wings, encompassing the entire process from design to manufacture, and finally its implementation on an aircraft and performing flight tests for their validation. project can be divided into three main components namely (1) Design and Analysis (2) Fabrication (3) Flight Test

Airfoil selection
Airfoil specially designed for low Reynolds number had to be selected. Low Reynolds number range is from 200000 to 500000. At low Reynolds number boundary layer is less capable of handling an adverse pressure gradient without separation. Many criteria put into the selection of the airfoil for this gust resistant flood assessment UAV Which was expected to have a good powered glide under any conditions of flight perturbations.

High maximum lift coefficient For a good glide at high angles of attack. Design Lift coefficient It is the Lift Coefficient at which it has maximum L/D ratio. Here it was chosen at approximately half of stall angle. Airfoil Camber
If a wing is thick, its easy to build it strong. Also it increases the stability of the aircraft in glider cruise.
The stall angle of the airfoil should be high i.e. around 11 to 13 degree in order to get high lift without an early stall.

Aspect Ratio
The aspect ratio of a rectangular wing is the ratio of wing span by chord. For powered gliders aspect ratio is chosen as 8.

Based on detailed Literature Survey, the procedure for wing designing, including the selection of airfoil was done. The wing parameters such as aspect ratio, chord, span and area was then calculated using spreadsheets and MATLAB for the given wing design requirements. Hence leading to the fabrication of the wing as the next step.
